The Governance of Privacy : Policy Instruments in Global Perspective, Paperback / softback Book

The Governance of Privacy : Policy Instruments in Global Perspective Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book was published in 2003.This book offers a broad and incisive analysis of the governance of privacy protection with regard to personal information in contemporary advanced industrial states.

Based on research across many countries, it discusses the goals of privacy protection policy and the changing discourse surrounding the privacy issue, concerning risk, trust and social values.

It analyzes at length the contemporary policy instruments that together comprise the inventory of possible solutions to the problem of privacy protection.

It argues that privacy protection depends upon an integration of these instruments, but that any country's efforts are inescapably linked with the actions of others that operate outside its borders.

The book concludes that, in a ’globalizing’ world, this regulatory interdependence could lead either to a search for the highest possible standard of privacy protection, or to competitive deregulation, or to a more complex outcome reflecting the nature of the issue and its policy responses.
